<snip> >Comparing with the role "contentinfo" which is meaningfully named, why was the inventor wanted to name the site header "banner" instead of a more meaningful name like "contenthead" or "masthead"? [Joe Chidzik] >From Merriam-Webster, I get the following two definitions of banner which seem relevant: 2: a headline in large type running across a newspaper page 3: a strip of cloth on which a sign is painted <welcome banners stretched across the street> (Ref: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/banner) The banner is the entrance to the website\page which you typically read before any other content.
